Pupils are enjoying new play and sensory equipment that is helping to turn learning into play.
Westfield School in Leominster, which supports children and young people aged two to 19 with severe and complex learning difficulties, received a £1,000 grant from the Kingspan Insulation Planet Passionate Community Fund to purchase the new equipment.
The school used the funds to buy role play equipment, balance and coordination aids, and sensory items designed to support social interaction between the pupils.
Zoe Burge, school business manager at Westfield, said: "We would like to thank Kingspan Insulation for the funding we received.
"This has allowed us to purchase a mixture of equipment to meet the needs of our pupils, ranging from bubble machines, footballs, chalks and outdoor games.
"This equipment will help us to support our student’s learning and development journey during the school day."
Additional sensory equipment was also purchased to enable pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities to more fully enjoy their playtimes.
The Kingspan Insulation Planet Passionate Community Fund supports education and skills development for young people, as well as environmental and wellbeing projects.
Developing the education and skills of young people is a key objective for the Kingspan Insulation Planet Passionate Community Fund.
